Kentucky and LSU will square off for a third time this season in the SEC Tournament Friday night in Atlanta. The Cats and Tigers split the regular season, with each team winning on their home courts. LSU has given Kentucky fits this year as Johnny O’Bryant and Anthony Hickey have been a thorn in Kentucky’s side.
Here are some tweets from Kyle Tucker who is at the LSU post-game press conference with O’Bryant, Hickey, and Johnny Jones.
Johnny O'Bryant on UK: "Can't wait."

O'Bryant: "We're not scared of nobody." Says he does well against UK because "I like the big stage."

O'Bryant says Hickey (former Kentucky Mr. Basketball the Cats never offered) "wants to make them pay every time."

I asked Hickey about O'Bryant's "make them pay" comment. Starts to answer, coach catches his attention, shakes his head.

Says Hickey: "When you see Kentucky, you always get amped up." Says while Cats have fan numbers, "it won't be as loud as Rupp Arena."

LSU's Jones: "Kentucky will come in and they’ll have an edge about themselves tomorrow."
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_CJ) March 14, 2014
LSU's Jones not biting on why his team matches up so well with Cats. "Kentucky's an excellent basketball team."

O'Bryant with a simple answer on why LSU gives UK fits: "Because we go at them. We’re a really hard-nosed team."
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_CJ) March 14, 2014
O'Bryant on UK: "We try to go at them from jump. We don’t care about ranking. We don’t care who they are."
